We are the wanderers
We travel the lonely path
Walk light on the earth
heavy hearted
Breathe sky through our eyes
When we were young
the earth was our mother
We would gaze at the stars
and wonder where we belong
For here we are strangers
and bleed in the crowd
The moon knows our name
She pulls us like the tides
injecting mysteries in our veins-
heady fragrant music
Whispers in ancient language
are those lost echoes in the hills
Our shadows chase us
when we try to light down
or drown in love
Thinking ourselves fools
we surface for air
needing oxygen to save our souls
But in some sweet moments
we breathe through each other
Become one
Find beauty in a dream
that fades apon awakening
Our flesh is a fragile shell
that when broken tears us apart
That when given, brings us home
Then we curse the dust on our feet
for the path drives us on
We hover at the crossroads
between heaven and earth
Hot at the equator
we see both sun and moon
rising and falling
We are balanced 'tween two poles
Still in spin, we twirl on the axis
Gravity holds us here
and destiny
which propells us through time
(c) Linda Gayton 2006

The line, "Breathe sky through our eyes" stopped me in my tracks; I'm glad I wandered here, thank you for letting me linger on the message in this awesome work!

Awesome and a beautiful, sentimental piece that holds so
much meaning. I find the beauty of your dream and you
know that dreams are really life.
You portray in delicate and sensitive words the life of many of us survivors in the world..
We are all on a learning curve, needing to learn from our mistakes, and make amends to those we may have hurt on the road of existence..
Beautiful poetry

Can truly relate to this marvelous piece, Linda. Love that graphic, too.
